Okay all. Usually I don't post and just lurk around here to find the answers to my issue. This time after reading 300 posts about Activesync and the TP my problem is still not resolved.
Up until last Friday I have been able to sync the TP with my computer running WinXP via the USB connection. I sync with my exchange server OTA but use the USB connection for file transfers. My computer won't recognize that the TP is even plugged into the USB now. It still charges, but doesn't do anything else. I've rebooted the machine and TP, reinstalled Activesync on computer, unchecked the "enable advanced network functionality" box, changed USB cords, verified that I have the correct three repllog.exe values in my notification queue, and even hard reset the TP. Still no luck. I would think that it's something to do with the computer except that I plugged my Mogul in to check and it synced instantly.
Does anyone have any more ideas why the TP would not be registering as connected? You all are amazing when it comes to stuff like this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
uninstall the Windows Mobile-based Device from the
network adapters section of Device manager on the PC.
control panel -> system -> hardware tab -> device manager button
restart pc and plug in the phone via usb and select active sync.
also the reason this may work in your case is i have had to do this for a friend.
windows installed the general rdnis driver however each device has a different
instance installed and thus the one device can have a corrupted driver yet the
other works perfect.
i see that u used another usb cable, cuz once it happened to me that the cable would charge but vista wouldn't recognize my TP "unrecognized USB device" , until i changed my usb cable!
Well I finally just went to a friend at the Sprint store and he swapped me for another TP. The new one works perfectly with the same setup that the other wouldn't. I can only guess that somehow the USB connection on my phone failed somehow. Just wanted to post this in case anyone else may have this issue in the future. Thanks for the responses.
This problem has happened on a friends, as well as just happening to mine (about 20 minutes ago). The usual fix which seems to clear it up:
1 - Hook up phone to computer
2 - On phone, start ICS (Internet Sharing in Start -> Programs)
3 - Select PC Connection "USB" and Network Connection of any type (if Sprint stock ROM, I recommend using "Sprint")
4 - Hit the "Connect" soft-key (bottom left)
If you've never used Internet Sharing on the phone, your computer should install some drivers... Once that is completed, click the Disconnect left soft-key on the phone. Now disconnect the cable from the computer.
Close out ICS or soft-reset the phone.
Once the phone is back up, plug it in - it should work.
I don't know what is getting reset in the phone, but unless I connect with ICS, then ActiveSync will not connect whether I soft-reset or not.
The same thing happened with my phone.... I took it to the Sprint store and they even tried a hard reset. It worked once after that then again it wouldn't sync. So they just replaced mine.... It was like you said.... some malfunction in the phone itself.
Hope HTC can figure out why this is happening.
Touch pro not sync
I can sync with my Vista Laptop and my friends xp machine but not to my xp desktop. I have tried many different cables. Each time I try something new, I toggle the "enable faster data synchronation box on USB to PC on try to sync then off then try to sync.
I have tried to delete all the usb drivers and rebooted to let the computer put in a new set.
I have tried to delete all the non running programs in my device manager using view hidden files.....
I have uninstalled active sync and then reinstalled it.
I have hard reset my phone a few times to no avail.
I went and bought a blue tooth adapter so I could sync using blue tooth and this computer does not do a good job of recognizing the adapter, but it did recognize it the first time but, could not pair the two. my blue tooth adapter is now coming up as a an unknown device
when i hook up the phone this is the message i get:
USB not Recognized,
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message....
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kent
MCW junior member THANKS....
thanks so much, this worked for me I could not sync my tasks or calendar, once I did what you said here I did get and Error Code 67..then cannot connect saying remote party has ended this connection...whatever that means...but anyway it proceeded to start automatically resynching and walla..all of sudden my tasks and calendar were on my computer ....first time I was ever on this forum ....I shall continue reading and learning here...so appreciate your help...I love my HTC Touch Pro and have just figured out how to connect to my big screen tv with only an MP3 or the like cable...works beautifully...except picture on tv is not the clearest...I will work on perfecting that next if it is possible...
Then I want to figure out how to get the phone connected to my computer screen, just like I did to my TV...then your phone acts as a controller...it's so cool!!

Ok I just found a solution for this, at least under Vista.
Click Start > Settings > Connections (tab)
Choose USB to PC
Once I removed the check mark next to "Enable advanced Network functionality" and clicked OK, my PC immediately saw my TP.
Hope this helps someone.
so what does the faster syc option do?
Ok so I searched the internet and found the advice to turn off the faster sync option on the phone.
After trying everything else I figured what the heck..
So it worked.
(btw windows adds a dif driver rather then the window-mobile baised device driver... )
So what does this option do? What does it point to being the problem on the computer?
Thanks,
HA>!

yeah i was having the same problem...my cpu would just recognize my phone as a mass storage device... Read your solution. And it worked... Damn i feel like a moron should have checked. Thanks!
I am having the same problem except the enable advanced network functionality option is checked and grayed out so it can't be unchecked.
I am running a 6.5 rom...
Any suggestions?
Solution solved
If you go to Settings->Connections->USB to PC and uncheck Enable faster data synchronization.
You will notice below that it will say "(Clear this check box if ActiveSync does not recognize the device)"
Once I did this it worked perfect.

Think of this step as telling your tp to quick boot/sync if nothing between the device and the reciving pc has changed (ie: hardware, software etc.
Enables faster syncing and quicker connection and authentication between pc and WM device. Reason for unchecking this to make it work?, by hard-reseting or changing specfic phone information you've reset specfic settings that are registerd with your pc.
i was having this problem with my sprint tp2 and tried it and worked. wish i would of learned if before reseting my computer and losing some windows i had open and the hard reset on my phone and losing all my contacts now i gotta go back to sprint store to get them again.
Works on the Touch2
I had this problem, which was driving me nuts especially as it was intermittent. I found Dashrender's advice and followed it except for turning off "Enable faster data synchronisation". Brilliant, works perfectly, thanks.
But what are HTC doing putting something in the software that fouls things up?
I knew i wasnt loosing my mind!
I have been workn on phones for a while. And have just been freakn about these same Issues Sony vio with 64bit vista. Thanks for all the tips. only took 6 hrs of pain to figure it out myself.
I have a similar problem now with my USB to PC . i have used this usb cable for many flashes but now when I plug it in, my computer doesnt recognize the usb device. also TV-Out pops up on my phone too. what is that all about? i dunno what to do
just found this thread searching for why my tp2 wouldn't sync. somehow under usb to pc i had it set to disk drive instead of active sync. checked it and works like a charm, can even see it in my computer now.
Sorry but, believe me, I've been dealing with this all week and I have read every post possibly pertaining to this subject, but I can't find a fix.
Went to flash the latest Bionix and PC (Windows XP-32/64-Bit HP) won't recognize my Vibrant. It's the only machine I've ever used with this phone. I plug in and get the USB icon and the Android Debug icon in the menu bar. Pull it down and it says "USB Debugging Connected" & "USB Connected". I can "Connect USB Storage" if I like, and it says "connected", but it's never recognized by the PC no matter what.
I can go into "Media Player" mode and "KIES" and same thing, it's just the USB icon instead of the Green Android. I've changed cords. I've used all the ports, front & back. Flashed back to Nero-5. I've gone into download mode and ODIN doesn't pick it up either.
32-Bit drivers are updated, but I've been doing a lot of install/reinstalls. The last thing I did on this device was flash Bionix-V. A couple weeks later I updated my wife's stock Vibrant via KIES.
What the hell can I do now? Thanks
edit...nevermind, sorry...at least i bumped you!!
Ha! Thanks TS10. And Mounting was certainly part of the problem. I could connect the USB storage and, in fact, it would say “connect” on the phone (“You can now transfer files between your SD card and PC” or something close to that), but it would still not show up on the PC. That’s what was driving me CRAZY.
But get this… Late last night, out of total frustration, I plugged the cable into a USB hub, that was connected to a removable HDD, and suddenly the Vibrant was recognized. I couldn’t believe it. I had plugged directly into that same USB port, on the back of the machine, at least 6x. Why the hell would it connect through a USB hub?!
I have no friggin’ explanation. But I’m running the latest Bionix now! At least I though that until I just check in here.
Today I deleted some programs off my SGS2 that were in the list in the SGS2 General Forum. My phone was able to connect to the PC before that. After I uninstalled the applications on my phone, it no longer tries to talk to my computer. I have reinstalled the drivers, restarted both my computer and phone, and still nothing. I am worried it was something I uninstalled but I doubt it. I was quite careful removing the programs using Titanium Backup and they were completely unrelated in my opinion. I have a feeling it is only coincidental.
Anyhow can you please help me troubleshoot what has happened? Thanks.
Perhaps it wasn't related. I figured out how to do it with USB debugging ticked. I never had to do that before. Originally it would connect automatically with USB debugging unticked. Now it only connects with USB debugging ticked and after I say that it is 'OK' pretty much.
Still, if anyone can shed some light on what I may have uninstalled let me know. Thanks.
may not apply to you since im guessing you tried it both times on the same comp with the same OS. i find that kies hates 64 bit OS. it just wouldn't connect on my desktop running win 7 ultimate 64bit but connects just fine on my laptop running win 7 enterprise 32bit. anyway... i usually have debugging mode on anyway, much easier for me to access the phone and sd card using explorer instead of stupid kies. kies i only use for firmware updates or atleast until i've rooted this thing.
Sorry I should have mentioned that I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Thanks, shabs52. Good to know it could be my OS that is fumbling. I would have to agree as well, Kies stinks. I can't wait until I can get a stock OS without any crapware.
Anyhow it is strange how it worked for awhile and just stopped, but debug mode is better anyway.
Win 7 x64 Kies failed always .
Wiped drive brand new Win 7 x64 install Kies no problems = bad driver install or conflicts on original setup .

I'm having this problem too
Despite my Win7 64bits, Kies always connected automatically, both with SGS2 and my previous SGS. Yesterday my SGS2 started to behave strange: when I plug the USB cable it doesn't recognizes automatically (takes a few seconds), and only starts charging the battery, but the data link is not stablished (Kies won't even recognize there is a device connected). When I remove the USB cable the charging indicator continues to show as if it still was connected (again, for a few seconds). The same with the power cord. Since the symptoms were the same in my notebook (also Win 7 64) I tried it on a Win XP 32 - same thing (different USB cables). This makes me think the problem is with the device itself. Anyone have seen this?
Try deleting the drivers on your pc for samsung usb while the phone is unplugged. Then plug back the phone and windows 7 should automatically search and install the required files...worked for me with w7 64
I already did that, but the problem persists. Today some new symptoms "arrived", which led me to this other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151863). The phone eventually enters car mode, or beeps and shows the charging indicator (even though it's not plugged). Weird. Will take to service tomorrow.
Im having this same problem with my epic touch. Was just wondering if anyone found a way to fix it.
So I've been trying all night to transfer a handful of CBR files to my ATP through its USB connection. I'm doing this from my desktop which is running windows 7. (in case any or all of those details might help anyone)
At first, I was trying to transfer with the prime plugged into my keyboard dock with USB debugging enabled. Then I disabled USB debugging. Then I tried, with debugging disabled, when connecting to the tablet directly. Finally I tried connected directly to the tablet, but with USB debugging enabled.
At every step in the process I will get through one folder or so, and then get an error on my desktop that says the device has stopped responding or has disconnected, and the transfer will fail.
With a bit more trial and error it seems to be that any time I interact with the prime in any way while it is transferring (even something as simple as scrolling back and forth a little on the home screen to keep it from going to sleep) it fails.
I'm not rooted, I'm on the standard firmware (.21 - latest as of now), and I've tried restarting the prime.
I can not make these files transfer and it's driving me insane. Anyone have any suggestions or theories on how to fix this?
I was hoping that there would be a response, esplanation, or solution to your post.
I am experiencing the same thing when I try to transfer a Titanium Backup Folder back on to the Tablet, be it to the internal SD Card or the External SD Card.
I've also tried all the options you mention (Debugging ON/OFF, etc.)
Are we the only two people experiencing this?

File transfers
Hi,
I was having the same problems, then gave up and fully charged it,
the next day I adb'd the same blob file and it did it in 5 min, the
night before when it was about a quarter charged it was taking a half
hour and would fail. I had it in CWM recovery. So try fully charging it, I have
also had better luck on a xp machine, then my win7 machine.
I had the same problem on .21 not unlocked nor rooted.
I did full wipe data after upgrading to .21 then connected as MTP and copied files successfully. Hope this help.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
not to put you off trying to use usb, i had the same issue transferring 5GB from the prime to PC.
i found using Total Commander 1.0 rc5 for Android with the network addon i could transfer it faster via wireless (only due to the poor performance i had with usb)
so just share the content and drag it across the wifi.
Total commander *www*.*ghisler*.*com/android.htm
Plugins *ghisler*.*com*/androidplugins/
(remove the *, i cant post links yet )
one thing you could try if you haven't is plug it into one of the ports on the back of your computer instead of the front/top/side, sometimes these ports are under powered.
I have this error when i'm trying copy file more than 4Gb to sd card formatted FAT32
might be silly to ask but when you connect did you make sure your on media transfer not the camera one?
This might be the reason. I hate it when this happens when I'm transferring files and I cant change or play with the tablet till its done. Its becoming more of a singletask device. I'm starting to lose faith in Asus tbh.

My computer is having a problem recognizing my HTC Vivid as anything besides an Unknown USB Device. Sometimes it will come up as an Android Phone and list the normal drivers but that goes away and turns into an Unknown USB Device with no drivers in about 10 seconds. I've tried mounting it to Disk Drive, HTC Sync, Internet Pass-Through, and Sync Manager. Not sure what to do at this point, I want to update my phone.

I'm having the same issue as you, just started tonight (trying to put the 1/15/2014 build of CM 11 on it), and so far haven't come across anything useful yet. I do recommend going to the HTC vivid forums and asking for help there, as you're more likely to get a response.
And sorry for reviving an old thread.
